For those (few) of us who are using Windows Vista (whatever version - Home Basic or Premium, Business or Ultimate) will find like I did that Service Pack 1 is available to download today via Windows Update.
With all the testing etc that has been done I feel confident in installing it today - it's downloading right now. If you want to be more cautious you could wait a week or two just to see if any final problems come to light.
Windows Update is by far the fastest and easiest way to get it installed. The download will probably be <70mb this way. If you would like to download the stand-alone installer it is 435mb and it is available here. The standalone installer can be handy if you want to slipstream your install DVD with the SP1 updates.
For those still waiting for Windows XP SP3 to be finalised and released I expect this Vista release will clear the way for that to happen. There is no way that XP SP3 was going gold before Vista SP1 :) But it shouldn't be long now.
